FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (18 x 14cm), pp.301, with an introduction by the respected Bond authority Henry Chancellor.

Contains all of Fleming's nine original James Bond short stories and novellas, previously issued in hardback as as For Your Eyes Only (1960, five stories) and Octopussy (1966, two stories).

[Spy thrillers] JAMES BOND PAPERBACKS. Fourteen volumes. Octavos (18 x 12 x 18). A vintage set of Pan paperback printings in the classic 'X' series with cover artwork and bold 'James Bond' lettering after designs by Raymond Hawkey. Cheap paper stock toned as usual, three books with ink ownership (From Russia, Live Twice and Golden Gun). Externally very good with some expected wear, reading creases, spine roll, a few small nicks etc. Includes two first printings ('Thunderball' and 'Spy'). Very good, with a few titles in this series becoming rather scarce. Introduced on Thunderball in 1963 (here in first printing), the stylish 'X' series featured "iconic JAMES BOND lettering, being larger and bolder than either the book title or the author's name. His [Hawkey's] cover art was applauded by Fleming and remained unchanged until 1969" (Gilbert, pp.36, 311). Gilbert, Jon: Ian Fleming The Bibliography (2012).

[James Bond] COMPLETE BOOK CLUB EDITIONS. 11 volumes. Octavo (20 x 14 x 26cm). Publisher's hardbacks in illustrated dust-wrappers. The entire run of the popular British book club editions, which began in 1956 with 'Live and Let Die'. In total eleven of the fourteen James Bond titles were issued in this format and this set is complete as published. A well-read set in uniformly worn jackets; discreet owner name to FRWL, owner's blind stamp to 'LLD', wrappers with chips and tears, some toning to spine panels, tape marks to 'DN'. Overall a good, used set. Uncommon to find complete, as here. Ian Fleming's books were offered in this cheaper format, usually one year after the Cape first editions- some share the same Jonathan Cape artwork, but after the 'Thunderball' painting was damaged while on loan in America, Cape would no longer lend out their original art; as such the Book Club commissioned their own action-packed and striking cover designs.

[Spy novels] ALL FIRST PRINTINGS. 14 volumes, octavos (overall dimensions 20 x 13 x 33cm). Publisher's hardbacks in illustrated dust-jackets. The American edition of Octopussy was the first to be illustrated. Ownership signatures to The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only; endpapers of The Man with the Golden Gun with some rubs/scuffs; toning to spine of From Russia, With Love, some chips to spine ends of jackets (moreso to earlier titles). The Man with the Golden Gun is in the second issue jacket with darker grey lettering than the earlier issue. Gilbert notes that the American dust jackets, from Live and Let Die to Doctor No, are "often" or "invariably" clipped, with the printed price retained elsewhere on the jacket, as here. The Spy Who Loved Me is price-clipped. A very good set in similar dust jackets; generally bright and presenting very nicely. First US editions, first printings, of this complete set of Fleming's original James Bond books. From the significant Ian Fleming collection of Martin Schøyen (b.1940), with his bookplate (two volumes added). Schøyen's private collection of manuscripts, which span all cultures and all time periods, is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind.
